Finished the brake lines and park brakes finally.









Next task is the exhaust. When I mocked up the Pypes system way back when, I really struggled getting the tail pipes to fit over the axles and around the fuel tank. Now that the rear sway bar, and the fuel and brake lines, are installed, it just won't work without modifying things.

Fortunately, my 18y/o son is teaching himself how to tig, and after testing his skills on some scrap pipe, he's pretty confident he can build me an exhaust. To keep it simple, we'll use the Pypes system as a starting point. I'll also have him weld in some v band clamps to make removing the exhaust easier. I think he'll end up having to go under the axle. Just not enough real estate to go over.
